Can Supplymo answer my 1688 sourcing question automatically?

Supplymo can answer common pre-payment questions from its curated knowledge base, then route uncertain cases to Product Check or human support.

Is Supplymo a 1688 agent or sourcing agent?

Not a full buy-everything agent. Supplymo is a before-payment decision layer: it answers sourcing questions, checks the product and supplier, and can arrange assisted small-batch ordering after you approve — rather than blindly placing and fulfilling orders on your behalf. Use it to decide whether a 1688 order is worth paying for first.

Can it give exact duty, tax, freight, or clearance outcomes?

No. The assistant can explain what information is needed and what should be reviewed, but official classification, tax, freight, customs, carrier acceptance, and delivery outcomes are not guaranteed.

What should I include in my question?

Include the 1688 link or reference product, destination country, quantity, SKU/options, package data if available, and whether you need shipping, prep, labeling, photos, or quote help.

Can Supplymo check a 1688 supplier before I pay?

Yes. Supplymo can review visible supplier signals, product-link consistency, MOQ, SKU/options, package readiness, and questions to confirm before payment. It reduces uncertainty, but it does not guarantee supplier quality, delivery behavior, refunds, or after-sales outcome.

Can Supplymo help ship a 1688 order to my 3PL after the supplier check?

Supplymo can help plan China receiving, carton evidence, prep, labels, CBM, and route handoff to a 3PL or warehouse when the destination rules are clear. Final shipping cost, carrier acceptance, warehouse acceptance, and delivery timing still need quote and manual review.

United States checklist

What to confirm before paying a 1688 supplier for the US market

Importing from 1688 into the US adds an HTS classification, Section 301 China tariffs, and agency rules that a low unit price never shows. Confirm these before you wire a supplier.

HTS code & Section 301 duty

Most China-origin goods carry a base HTS duty plus an extra Section 301 tariff. The real landed cost depends on the 10-digit HTS line, not the supplier's price.

De minimis & entry type

Low-value shipments may clear under the de minimis threshold, but commercial FBA volume usually needs a formal CBP entry, bond, and a customs broker.

Agency rules (FDA / FCC / CPSC)

Electronics need FCC authorization, children's products need CPSC certification and tracking labels, and food-contact or cosmetic items fall under the FDA.

Amazon FBA prep

FNSKU labels, polybag suncatcher warnings, carton limits, and box-label rules must be handled in China before the goods reach a US fulfillment center.
